By Myrna Trauntvein County commissioners approved a survey and an order of commemorative socks for the tourism department. Shanna Memmott, Juab County Tourism Director, has been working to update the county billboard on the south of Nephi. She said it would be best to have the property surveyed and have that recorded in the recorder’s office. “The sign is close to the property boundary line,” said Memmott. “It is 40-feet long. We need to adjust the billboard.” She said she had sought some bids for the survey and found that Ludlow Engineering and Land Surveying, a local company, entered the least expensive bid. One of the bids came in at $5,000 and Ludlow’s bid was for $800. “We will need to angle the sign to fit the property,” she said. “The problem is that the sign is so old that it is made of wood.” The sign needed to be updated to metal, she said. Plans are that it would be equipped with solar lights because there is no access to power at the location. For the same reason, it cannot be a digital sign like the one along the freeway north of Nephi. “Before we do anything,” said Memmott, “we need to get the easement settled.” Clinton Painter, commissioner, made the motion to have Ludlow’s survey the property and establish the easement. Marty Palmer, commissioner, made the second and all voted in favor. America250 Utah is Utah’s Year of Celebration and Service for the celebration of the founding of the United States. The big date will be on July 4, 2026, when Utahns will join the rest of the nation to commemorate and celebrate the anniversary. “We have ideas for the celebration in our county,” said Memmott. She said that part of the plan was to have Juab is Freedom Socks. “It will be my swag for the year,” she said. “It will cost $7,900 for 1,000 pairs.” She said she needed commission approval for the expenditure. Painter said he would make the motion to approve the expenditure and Palmer said he would make the second. All commissioners voted in favor.
